BRAKE PAD DUST!!!!!

[604SRT10]

After taking my 03 out a few times the last few days I have come to realize that I need new brake pads. The stock pads are pumping out so much dust that my wheels look nasty!!! What pads should I get to stop this!! It's driving me nuts!!!

Everyone recommends ebc red...However i've found hawk performance ceramic superior for street use...they do cost more tho...make sure u bed them in properly and there will be dust for the first 300 miles then the dust is much less than ebc red imho & no squeaking

Hawk Performance: Performance Ceramic Brake Pads

Tried the reds squeaked like hell for the the first 4,000 miles. Low on dust though.

I have used Hawk HPS pads on all my Vipers and other cars. Great pedal feel, superior braking, very low dust and less rotor wear than ceramic pads.

Thanks wallbanger, I'll have to invest in some new pads, I can't handle having a clean car with filthy rims!!!!

I wish Akebono would come out with pads for our Vipers.

My 04 SVT Cobra, 04 Volvo C70 and my wife's FX35 all have Akebono ceramic pads on them, and I NEVER have to wash the wheels.

P.S. Great street performance too with no noise.
